Will somebody please think of the Miis?
The Wii U's woes in the days leading up to the Wii U eShop's closure couldn't get any worse. Cybersecurity issues forced Nintendo to take down Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online servers. A hardware issue is causing the infamous Wii U NAND corruption error that is bricking Wii U consoles that had been left to collect dust. 2023 is really turning into an Annus Horribilis for the Wii U. So much for the Wii U being Nintendo's biggest flop that's not the Virtual Boy or the Game Boy Micro, especially when its sales figures are lower than the Gamecube.
Update: It turns out that the Wii U NAND corruption error has nothing to do with leaving the Wii U to gather dust. Instead, the Wii U NAND corruption error has been found to be caused by Hynix NAND chips found in selected Wii U units, and the Hynix NAND chips are dying faster than those manufactured by Samsung and Toshiba.
